How about Dat1 <- lapply(subset(Dat, Dat!="P"), My_Function)

Here I have specified the name "P" just for illustration however this will be some name specified by user. Is there any direct way to achieve this, using 'lapply'? Thanks for your help. ______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
